"a) We can't remove bad teachers from our "universal" education system, so why expect bad doctors to be removed from a universal health care program?"

They don't have tenure and they get paid more. It is a little different.

"These days, it's handled by malpractice insurance"

So now you defend the present system?

"which at least puts some burden on the doctors to perform well."

Not really. Premiums are priced according to the specialty and location. If a doc has 1000 claims, they pay the same as a doc with zero, all other factors being equal. So there is no burden on docs to perform well.
